- The People Side of Banking, With Kareem Refaay of The London Institute of Banking & FinanceIt’s easy to think of banking as a numbers industry.

- Digital Banking Podcast Feb 8 · 59m Banking on Engagement, With Michael Bank, the Co-Founder of Blip LabsThe reason it’s so hard to define digital transformation is because it means – or should mean – something different to every financial institution. In other words, the finish line may be the same for everyone, but the starting line will always be different. Sometimes simply adding a new layer of technology will work. Other times, you’ll need to step back and consider completely reengineering a process based on the availability of new technology. The key is to always be mindful of your accountholders’ needs and focus on creating the best possible experience for them. In this episode of The Digital Banking Podcast, Blip Labs CEO Michael Bank explained what digital transformation in banking should look like. Bank and host Josh DeTar discussed the idea of having an aggregated financial picture, new ideas and expectations of the "younger guard," and why automation is so important.0 comments0

- Leveraging Technology to Serve the Underserved, with Kristi Kenworthy of Dora FinancialThe core philosophy of credit unions is people helping people and enabling underbanked communities that don't have access to traditional financial institutions.

They do a great job trying to serve people of modest means who might shun mainstream financial products and services. But could Dora be a solution that would help you do an even better job? If there are still 50 million unbanked Americans, we have to do a lot of work to try to serve that market and bring them into the credit union industry.''0 comments0

- How to Leverage Digital Banking Configuration to Provide Personalized Financial Solutions With Bill KinnellyIt’s a constant balancing act for community financial institutions. If you use all your software ”out of the box,” you risk looking just like everybody else. If you customize your environment too heavily, you can end up with a support nightmare that none of your vendors can help with. In this episode of Digital Banking Podcast, host Josh DeTar welcomed Bill Kinnelly, the CEO of KGA Advisory, LLC. They discussed the pitfalls of being on a customization island, the potential problems with development, and the positives and negatives of an SDK (software development kit) approach. No two community financial institutions are the same, so of course, no two FI technology environments are the same. Every financial technologist wants to create a user experience that’s perfect for their FI’s accountholders, not one that’s perfect for the FI down the street. Customization is one option. But whether you have your vendor do the customization or do it all in-house, customization has risks. It adds cost and it adds complexity, both up front and over time. Are the risks worth the rewards. No two financial institutions will have the exact same answer to that question either.0 comments0
